I don't understand some things,
This, this is one of those times
I can't see through the tears
How am I ever supposed to see reason?
It's scary, this world, now that you're gone
I'm intimidated, terrified, lost
Why can't you just come back to me?
I wish I could bring you back to me...
I wish there were more time to be with you
I wish I could be there with you
I wish I had been there for you
I wish, I wish, I wish I could stop wishing for you
People keep telling me I'll see you soon
Or that you're watching over me
But that isn't enough because you aren't here
You aren't with me, where you should be
Maybe in time I will be able to rationalize
But now, I just crave to be held in your arms
Someone has bigger and better plans for you
I just wish it didn't mean you had to go
Author notes
I am so sorry that you are going through this.
My aunt passed away only a couple of months ago very suddenly after the doctor's assuring us that she would make a full recovery. I too was across the country from where she lives and couldn't make it to her funeral.
I wish your family the best and offer my full condolences in your time of sorrow and grief.
Love and blessings
